The Blueprint Before Training an LLM

Hyperparameters, vocabulary, and why a 7B model is 7B before day one, how the dials connect, where parameters live, and why the context window is a budgeted choice.

Is MCP Really Necessary for Business Agents in Large Regulated Enterprises?

MCP is a valuable standard for AI tool interoperability. For regulated business agents, the question is whether its benefits outweigh operational cost for your use case, not whether MCP is good.

Retrieval Is a Governed Action

Retrieval is not a database query; it is a governed action. How Policy-Governed Agent Runtime applies to RAG when context construction must be scoped, auditable, and enforced before inference.

How to Design an Intent Router for Agentic AI

A practical design guide for intent routing — route tables, layered classification, confidence thresholds, session stickiness, eval gates, and wiring dispatch into the agentic app before the model loop runs.

What Is an Intent Router — and Why It Matters in Agentic AI

An intent router is the first deterministic decision in an agent stack. It maps user requests to the right workflow, agent, and tool manifest before the model loop runs — and when it fails, every downstream stage can execute perfectly and still miss the user’s goal.

RAG Is Not a Database

RAG is runtime context construction at query time, not a storage layer you bolt onto an LLM.
